[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took a job at an Amazon warehouse for 2 weeks instead of going on vacation because I was curious. I was partially inspired by an article written by Philip Su a former tech executive who took the position to cure depression. I’m college educated and a small business owner. AMA. I quit this weekend. It’s been interesting. [/quote]
How much were you paid?[/quote]
17.50 per hour. My base was 16 but because of a night time differential I got an extra 1.50 per hour. 16 is a standard base irregardless of location meaning people in NYC and SF make the same. I don’t know how someone would live on what is basically $500 a week after taxes in those locales. [/quote]

1. Irregardless ?? seriously?
[b]2. Everyone knows it's not supposed to be a career that supports a family. [/b] It's exactly what you said - supplemental income.
3. Based on what you have said - I don't believe you worked there for a minute. [/quote]

Some people cannot work a job that is more difficult mentally. Yes, these jobs should support at least a single person living in a studio apartment. It’s not like you can have a 16 year old do this job. [/quote]

You absolutely can and they absolutely do.  Especially seasonal employees.  Home from college - hump boxes at Amazon for 6 weeks. Make bank.[/quote]

Who is supposed to work when school is in session?[/quote]

Whomever wants to work. [/quote]
